Thanks for the welcome, Tim. This thread, and the Old Slab Holders website are very useful resources. The PCGS Museum of Coin Holders was a good start, but it doesn't contain the amount of researched detail about each generation that the Old Slab Holders website has. That site and this thread of actual collectors of PCGS White Label holders gave me confirmation that what I recently found and purchased was indeed a PCGS White Label Generation 1.1. So I am now the proud owner on one also.
Very true. I don't think there is a better source of experienced collectors than this forum and John @86Saab is right up there among the most knowledgeable on all things old holder related.
No putty on my 1932 $10 Indian: #1082102. Just poor lighting reflecting off of the coin in my photo showing the slab. (I was focusing on getting a good clear photo of the important white label.) The coin definitely has some coloration (toning) and stains though. Probably caused by sitting decades in a bag in a damp, musty cellar vault of a European bank before being repatriated. I like that its owner in February 1986, chose not to dip the coin before having it encapsulated by PCGS back during the company's first week or two of operation. I like the originality of its skin -- it's got character. Here are obverse and reverse photos of the coin itself.

Wow, is all I can say now. And I had just deleted my PCGS Rattler saved search a couple days ago.

I wonder how many minutes it took that BIN to be hit?
It was less than 5 minutes
